Abstract-
Embedded controlled sensor network is the
technology used to implement environmental solutions
effectively. Many researchers have been making attempts to
develop the embedded controlled sensor network. The existing
systems are bulky, very costly and difficult to maintain. The
proposed system is cost effective and controlled by user friendly
embedded systems. In the proposed system ARM based
microcontroller and wireless sensors are used to control the
various devices and to monitor the information regarding the
environment using Zig bee and GSM technologies.
I. INTRODUCTION
In the twenty first century, there is revolution of the
sensor networks which have also come up with various
applications like surveillance, traffic control, environmental
and wildlife monitoring, agricultural application, home
automation and industrial process control [1 ].Embedded
controlled sensor networks (ECSN) are mainly designed to
be application- specific so that the energy consumption is
minimum as the battery-powered nodes demand life-time of
several months or even a few years. The architecture of a
typical embedded controlled sensor network is shown in

I T. M ETHODOLOGY
Environment monitoring and device control allows new level
of comfort in homes and it can also manage the energy
consumption efficiently which in turns promotes the saving.
Remote controlling of the devices offers many advantages to
senior citizens and people with disabilities which helps them
in being more autonomous and increasing quality of life. In
addition to remote control, monitoring temperature, flood and
carbon monoxide in homes is also a major concern. There is a
severe need to monitor temperature or gases as they can be
costly and deadly. A monitored low temperature sensor warns
about freezing temperatures inside house. Also if the boiler,
washer or pipes leaks in the home, it can cause considerable
damage.

CONCLUSION
This paper demonstrates designing of embedded controlled
sensor networks used for controlling the home devices as well
as monitoring the environmental parameters. The features of
GSM and Zigbee are explored to design the system for long
distance as well as short distance .. Embedded controlled sensor
networks have proven themselves to be a reliable solution in
providing remote control and sensing for indoor
environmental monitoring systems. Three commercial sensors
had been integrated with the system to monitor and compute
the level of existence of CO gas, temperature and humidity in
atmosphere usmg information and communication
technologies.
